Kim Kardashian has come under fire for yet another photoshop fail – this time, for editing the trapezius muscle out of her neck.
A TikToker named Caroline Ross who also works as a commercial photographer has uploaded a video showing where Kardashian altered her poolside pic used to promote her new collaboration with Beats, and what she believes the unedited version would actually look like.
“Kim K is notorious for Photoshopping out her traps,” Caroline says in the clip. “Why? I don’t know, maybe it makes her neck look smaller. But this area right here has been Photoshopped out,” she said identifying an area on the reality star’s neck.
Caroline, who goes by the handle Caroline In The City on TikTok, continued; “When we zoom in, we can see that the water pattern behind her here has been warped. Using the liquify tool Photoshop, I’m going to now show you what it would look like without the Photoshopping applied to it.

“As you can see, the water reflection in the background starts to look a lot more natural as well, we don’t have that warped effect.
“We also have a behind the scenes video from the shoot to compare as well.”
Caroline then shows a still from the image promoting her new collaboration with Beats and compares it to the alleged unedited version.
“Here’s the photo that they released,” she said. “Here is the corrected version. Check out the water patterns in the background.”
While not entirely shocked, many fans aren’t happy about Kardashian’s latest photoshopping stunt, with one TikTok commenter stating that she has hit a “a new level of delusion”.
Earlier this month, the Kardashian sisters made headlines over a TikTok video that reversed the plastic surgery that has allegedly been done to each of them, and their mother Kris.
The TikTok video shows Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie and Kris in a family photo that was released for promotion purposes. The video then focuses on each woman’s face and morphs the photo into old photos of them without surgery.
